Molecular recognition using functionalized metallomacrocyclic hosts has also been employed in the design of molecular machines.
These functionalities can be summarized as molecular recognition, molecular assembly, protein modification, and entropic chains.
Host-guest interactions have increasingly been utilized to engineer materials with tunable, specific, and modular molecular recognition motifs that drive self-assembly or other functionality.
Biomolecules have various outstanding functions, such as molecular recognition, molecular binding, self-assembly, catalysis, molecular transport, signal transduction, energy transfer, electron transfer, and luminescence.
Upon molecular recognition a ligand can modulate protein function, thereby enhancing, inhibiting or modulating its activity.
Specifically, the general requirement for cationic and hydrophobic functionality was addressed by incorporating permutations of the molecular recognition elements KK, KA, KH, KL, and LL in different spheres of the dendrimer framework: either on the periphery or distributed across the three dendrimer generations (see Figure 1 B for the sequences).
It is all a matter of affinity, molecular recognition and genetic programming, Dr. Belcher said.
Molecular recognition and biomacromolecular assembly.
Biological information is transmitted through molecular recognition.
The molecular recognition mechanisms were investigated.
